Why would he? Time to dip into some of that sweet RNC cashpile

You make it sound like possible presidents usually do that anyway

>>42660
This. Besides which, we already knew he'd be recouping the "loans" to his campaign using RNC cash if he clinched the nomination beforehand, so this is no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention.

under-reported story, thanks for posting OP

Your welcome. Fires are all over the place in my location and way out of control

Meanwhile, the NDP just cut the wildfire budget from 500 million to 86 million.

Nature doesn't have to "admit" anything. There was no hard evidence before. Now, there is. There's never been some conspiracy hiding this phenomenon either. It's an idea taught in most environmental engineering classes and has been suspected (not quite proven) for decades.

However, the environmental and therefore economic and social impacts of rising CO2 levels can't be ignored, just because it makes plants grow better.

same story as presented by BBC:

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36130346
>The sensors show significant greening of something between 25% and 50% of the Earth's vegetated land, which in turn is slowing the pace of climate change as the plants are drawing CO2 from the atmosphere.

>>41553
>There was no hard evidence before.

So all the farmers owning a greenhouse and adding CO2 to have better yields were fools?

Allegations of this nature destroy people's reputations so they act with caution.

posts like this are the reason why I come to 4chan

>That rhetoric, immigrant advocates and lawmakers say, is driving many foreign-born residents to seek citizenship.

>"There is fear of a Trump presidency," said Maria Ponce of iAmerica Action, a Washington-based immigrant rights group that is teaming up with other organizations to help those seeking citizenship — part of a national campaign called "Stand Up To Hate." They've sponsored naturalization workshops from Washington state to Nebraska and Massachusetts.

>Nationwide, naturalization applications are up 14 percent in the last six months of 2015 compared with the same period in 2014, according to the government.

>And the pool of future U.S. citizens is large. Nearly 9 million legal permanent residents, or green-card holders, are eligible to become Americans. Of those, about 4 million are Hispanic.

>Rep. Luis Gutiérrez, D-Ill., was featured in a public service announcement encouraging immigrants to become citizens so they can vote in November. He mocked Trump's slogan, suggesting it was really: "Make America Hate Again."

>"We've seen it in the past and we are seeing it again many times over this year," he said. "When immigrant communities feel they are under attack they react with a large number of eligible immigrants becoming citizens and a large number of eligible citizens becoming voters."

>Erica Bernal of the National Association of Latino Elected Officials said the tenor of the presidential campaign is galvanizing Latino immigrants. She said today's movement is reminiscent of the 1990s when Latinos in California rose up against Proposition 187, which sought to deny government services to those in the state illegally. The courts overturned it.

>Her group and several local ones in Los Angeles recently launched a regional campaign to encourage Latino immigrants to become citizens. About 775,000 legal immigrants in the L.A. area are eligible for citizenship.

>To qualify, immigrants must have been in the country five years, complete a 21-page application, get fingerprinted, pass a civics and English exam and pay almost $700 in fees.

>Ivan Parra, citizenship coordinator with the Florida Immigrant Coalition said immigrants laugh when he asks why they want to become Americans.

>"'You know why,' they say, 'I want to vote against racism and hate,'" said Parra.

>He says immigrants this year are "desperate to be part of the political process."

>Maria Cristina Giraldo, originally from Colombia and already a U.S. citizen, said she is so fearful of Trump becoming president that she brought five relatives to a naturalization workshop in South Florida.

>"Trump is anti-immigrant," said Giraldo, who works cleaning houses. "I don't know if it's because he's such a brute in his speeches or that he isn't careful in what he's saying, but he's very nasty toward Hispanics."

>Her sister, Gladys Ceballos of Hollywood, Florida, agreed. She's trying for the second time to become a citizen after failing to pass the English exam. She says she's not fearful of Trump, but she doesn't trust him.

>John Haughton, 66, a Jamaican immigrant, said: "Trump is a man who would say one thing today and may modify his views tomorrow."

>"I want my voice heard," said Haughton, a legal permanent resident since 2008.

>Seung Baik, 43, who was born in South Korea and brought to the U.S. as a teenager, said he too believes Trump is too divisive.

>"It took me a little longer to become a citizen because I didn't want to apply and treat this as a membership to something, like joining a club," said Baik, a church pastor. "The world and this nation are changing, and my vote matters."

>Baik said he won't be registering as a Democrat or Republican but remains independent. He's undecided about whom he will vote for in his first presidential election as a U.S. citizen, but "it won't be Donald Trump."

>>42242
All the Trump supporters I know keep insisting that immigrants are going to jump on the Trump Train vs Hillary because of the way Bill Clinton treated them in the 90s.

>"The Saracens are peaceful people!"


>"Be tolerant, they are enriching Iberia with their presence!"

>"The Jizyia is merely a fraction of what the Iberians should actually pay when it comes to what the Saracens give back to them!"

>"SARACENS WELCOME!"

It's amazing that happened considering how all the Planned Parenthood clinics are closing down.

My 200 student 7-8th grade middle school averaged 3 pregnancy-related drop-outs a year before it was shut down after 2008. I will always remember seeing one of those animals in choir class--pregnant and flashing her breasts to another student--and thinking "WTF is wrong with these people" for the first time.

Hope Todd Howard went down in this.

>More than 60 different threats and jokes were submitted using the First Colonial Google Form.

>I reached out to First Colonial on May 26 after the school removed the link to the form. Vice Principal David Judge was aware of the threats but declined to comment further until he discussed the matter with the school’s media official. The school was open Tuesday with an added police presence, reported ABC’s 13newsnow.

>Anonymous 4chan pranksters expanded their scope of the prank to the Spring Branch Independent School District in Texas and Chicago Lakes School District in Minnesota Tuesday.

>The threats against each district were very similar. The following is a screengrab of a threat intended for May 2 using Spring Branch’s website.

>Pranks such as these have been a cornerstone of 4chan since it launched on Oct. 1, 2003.

>In October 2015, the website was implicated in the mass shooting at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College after a thread on the site’s imageboard /r9k/ foreshadowed the incident, Salon reported.

>Other notable pranks perpetrated by anonymous 4chan users are the bikini bridge hoax, free bleeding, and “iPhone Wave,” which tried to convince people to charge their phones in a microwave.

When the fuck are people gonna grow the fuck up?

>>42246
>4chan implicated in the mass shooting at Oregon...
What the fuck does that even mean?

>"This argument is absurd since a language is only useful if it can be used to communicate with people, and there are no Klingons with whom to communicate," stated a plaintiffs' brief authored by David Grossman at Loeb & Loeb. "The Klingon language is wholly fictitious, original and copyrightable, and Defendants' incorporation of that language in their works will be part of the Court's eventual substantial similarity analysis. Defendants' use of the Klingon language in their works is simply further evidence of their infringement of Plaintiffs' characters, since speaking this fictitious language is an aspect of their characters."

>Before U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner gets a chance to rule on a motion to dismiss, he's now being asked permission to review a friend-of-the-court brief from the Language Creation Society.

>The brief, authored by Marc Randazza, begins with background that the Klingon language was invented in 1984 by Marc Okrand for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

>"Before that, when actors played Klingons in Star Trek television programs or movies, they simply uttered guttural sounds or spoke in English (Federation Standard)," writes Randazza. "Given that Paramount Pictures commissioned the creation of some of the language, it is understandable that Paramount might feel some sense of ownership over the creation. But, feeling ownership and having ownership are not the same thing. The language has taken on a life of its own. Thousands of people began studying it, building upon it, and using it to communicate among themselves."

>Now, with 250,000 copies of a Klingon dictionary said to have been sold, Klingon language certification programs being offered, the Microsoft search engine Bing presenting English-to-Klingon translations, one Swedish couple performing their marriage vows in Klingon, foreign governments providing official statements in Klingon and so on, the Language Creation Society is holding up Klingon as having freed the "bounds of its textual chains."

>Ultimately, the amicus brief comes back to the theory that Klingon is not copyrightable.

>"What is a language other than a procedure, process, or system for communication?" asks the society. "What is a language's vocabulary but a collection of words? The vocabulary and grammar rules of a language provide instructions for a speaker to articulate thoughts and ideas. One cannot disregard grammatical rules and still be intelligible, and creating one's own vocabulary only worked well for the Bard. Vocabulary and grammar are no more protectable than the bookkeeping system in Baker v. Selden, 101 U.S. 99, 101 (1879)."

>According to the amicus brief — which also nods to the framers of the U.S. Constitution and to Sesame Street theme-song lyrics — no court has ever addressed the issue of whether a constructed spoken language is entitled to copyright protection. Whether or not the Star Trek fan-film case provides that very opportunity is now up to he judge. He could sidestep the legal geekery by agreeing with Paramount that defendants and those interested are making too much of this, that use of Klingon is merely evidence of some larger infringement. Or he could give Klingon speakers everywhere "qapla"!

Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's re d glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In fully glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vuntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution!
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Bless with victory and peace, may the heav'rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust":
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
